About Our Group
The Child and Adolescent Neuropsychology Group was founded by Dr Renée Testa and is dedicated to providing high quality neuropsychological services to assist children, adolescents and young adults experiencing difficulties with their thinking skills, emotions and behaviour.
We receive requests for assessment from a wide range of sources including medical professionals, allied health clinicians, parents, teachers (and education sector), lawyers and other members of the community.
Most commonly, we assess and treat children, adolescents and young adults; however, we are also able to accept referrals for adults who have neurodevelopmental needs, such as for Autism or Learning Difficulties assessments.
